Spectacular September 2WW Thread

[XXforhubby]

Hmmm. Well brown is old blood so that is good. I'm wondering if you had a small owie on your cervix that got irritated. I had something similar happen around the same time as you, when I swayed last time. Atomic told me that in the 2ww our cervix is very susceptible to becoming irritated. The time frame does coincide with your BDing, since it is old blood. Hopefully that is all it is!

FX it stops!

I hope it stops too, I am ok with an 11 day LP but don't want it to get much shorter than that. I also have this ongoing pain in my left side of my stomach today, feels like a stitch you get after running etc but I have had it before in 2ww and it didn't mean anything then so I will just sit back and wait and hope this spotting goes away. Thanks so much for your reply XXforhubby, that puts my mind at ease a little.

[Dreamsister]

Morning ladies. Exiting with all these things going on and all those waiting to test and attempt. My OPK's dosen't get much darker than on this pic. Do you think O is on It's way? I have had fertile EWCM for a couple of days now and a sugnificant rise in temperature two days ago. We had our attempt last night. And have been BDing frequently e2d up until now. When I forced hubby to BD last night he was like : I am so tired and just want to sleep, this is half rape. But he did his job. LOL. Hope we did it right on time.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160906/490520b5bc4e46ed52c62b3199ec8216.jpg

It does sound like you're about to ovulate. Good luck! Lol@ "half rape" [emoji1]

[Kelbear]

Good luck dreamsister, I agree that looks like you will ovulate soon. Fingers crossed for you this month.

[MrsSparkles]

8DPO and yesterday on day 7 I had a few minor twinges, would not call them cramps though.
Still determined to to POAS until day 14 :D Which will be hard cos I am an addict lol

[Girlieplease]

Good work dreamsister, man are so funny when they have to perform, they turn into children! E2d's that is some effort, good luck! X

Am 11 dpo today, itching to test but going to hold off until Friday, I keep having moments when am convinced af has arrived but so far it has stayed away! Good luck hope this is our month, we are at the same stage, it is so frustrating! X

Hope spotting stops, I have had a really short lp so am dpo 11 today and am delighted to get this far, better than a shocking 7 days lp of last month. Fingers crossed a wee bean is setting up home and that is what has caused the spotting x

[MrsSparkles]

We can do this and wait it out Girlie :D

[Girlieplease]

Anyone good on ff? I think I ovulated on cd 19 but ff did not give me crosshairs until cd 22. Anyway temps are still sort of high and when I entered my temp this morning ff, changed and said it could not detect ovulation but it was sometime between 10 and 22 cd? I had a random temp spike on the 17 two days before ovulation and I think that is what is knocking it off. Just for fun I reduced this temperature and then ff was in agreement with me about ovulation on cd 19, why would it all of a sudden say it cannot detect ovulation when it was saying I ovulated on the 22? Many thanks x

[Dreamsister]

How many days do you think that semen is able survive and fertilize an egg? I heard 3 days.

[Kelbear]

I too have heard that it is about 3 days but can be less or longer depending on factors like vaginal environment (presence of fertile cm) and sperm quality which can be impacted by age, health etc.

[kc15880]

we bd 5 days before +opk & still conceived DS2. Anything is possible!

I am pretty good with charting, and with FF's algorithm. Attach your chart, and I'll take a look.

[XXforhubby]

Girlieplease- sometimes when you add more temps, FF will change your O date. Also, higher temps can throw it off too. If you had a one off high temp early on, sometimes discarding it helps FF to see the overall trend better.

7dpo & I am so ridiculously bloated! I am never bloated & I never had this with my boys. Also woke up drenched in sweat last night even though it was a cold night. Anyone else had bloating like this?

[maggie84]

I guess I am out this cycle. Started fertile mucus today and was expecting OV on saturday (I am on Femara), so I would get +opk on friday and BD that day. Hubby is away for work until Friday!!

I will start with the OPKs today and hoping for a very loooong fertile mucus window and +opk only on Friday. Or else I will just ov before hubby is back and this cycle is a bust. :(

Your serge could be on its way or just passed. Are you testing in afternoon? You may need to test twice a day to be sure not to miss it.

E2d, is that protected or unprotected? Seems very blue if unprotected.

[GirlieCat]

8DPO and yesterday on day 7 I had a few minor twinges, would not call them cramps though.
Still determined to to POAS until day 14 :D Which will be hard cos I am an addict lol

I am 8dpo too!! I am going to try to wait till at least 14 also. I think it is kind of fun to set a goal and stick to it so it makes the waiting easier. Good luck. Hope that day brings positives for both of us.

[Burakoam]

Dont get your hopes up TOO high KC...but i had the waking up drenched in sweat the last two times i was pregnant...i imagine it was either conception day or implantation day for me... If you really are 7DPO and you stay really hot like that the next few days id say it may be implantation and you should test!

Currently pregnant and when i was in my 2WW i swore i had a fever for two nights...my temp was 100 degrees and i soaked the sheets beneath me with sweat. It was really bad. I definitely was not sick though.

Honestly i still feel like an oven. i have to have a sheet to sleep at this point, fan on max speed and still finding myself waking up too hot for comfort. so temps that high can be a very good sign.

[kc15880]

thanks burakoam. Trying not to read to much into it especially as I had no symptoms at all with ds2 until around 8 weeks!

[MrsSparkles]

I think I'm out this month....it's less than a week until AF is due to arrive, and I have all the usual symptoms ; bloating, craving comfort foods, and murderous thoughts when people annoy me ...such as by breathing too loud, or standing too close in a queue :nono:
Lol
Definitely just the usual PMS symptoms.
Think next month I will ask Atomic what I should do to just get pregnant quickly

[Dreamsister]

Yes, GirlieCat, I tested 2-3 times a day for the past five days. And yes, I know e2d is bluelish, but I take the risk. I just wanted to make sure to have some good stuff inside working for me in case the fertility window opened up. I think I either geared up to O, did not O or O'ed, bc now my LH test strips are BFN.

[jennypenny]

That sounds like me today Mrs sparkles! I'm 10dpo and feel ridiculously warm and cranky.

Feel like this month's attempts we were both so ill with the cold and couldn't b bothered, cannot imagine a baby being conceived under those conditions!

[MrsSparkles]

Awww I'm sorry Jenny
It sucks doesn't it, all this waiting
tbh I don't even think I'll need to waste a HPT, AF feels like she is close

[Kelbear]

Sorry to hear AF might be just around the corner for a few of you lovely ladies. I too think I am out this month, not sure what my body is doing but I am sure AF is only days away even though I am only 4 or 5 dpo. Had light brown spotting yesterday morning following some darker spotting the night before and now more light brown spotting today, similar to the spotting I usually get from 8dpo to AF. Just not sure why it has started from 2dpo. Fingers crossed for those of you that still haven't seem AF or had pms symptoms.

[MrsSparkles]

Kelbear - looks like we'll be In October :)

Still going to stay here and cheer y'all on :D

[Girlieplease]

Sorry, af maybe on the way for some of you. I honestly have thought that some many times over the past week but it was not the case and the heat, my tummy area is sweating, I am hoping it is a sign of a bean implanting. Am 12 dpo and am starting to feel hopeful, given I have a usual lp of 8 -9 days, you guys don't know until af arrives. I have the bloating as well but it comes and goes, which is not the case with af. I wish I could add my chart so xxforhubby could look at it, it is looking promising as well. Temperature was through the roof today. Don't lose hope and I hope we all get a bfp this month, good luck! I won't test until Friday cd 14, but I would be pretty sure I am pregnant if I get that far! X

[baby2016baby]

I'm staking you girlieplease got everything crossed for you bfp. I had no early symptoms with any pregnancy apart from feeling hot and sweating (which is not fun now at 11 weeks in).

Dreamsister I conceived last girl with every2days so you can still get pink this way. Although for me it was a failed boy sway .

Good luck to everyone xxx

[momamia4]

I'm 14dpo and despite a tiny bit of spotting and low temps, af has not shown up yet. I tried to take a frer this morning and it was faulty. The one and only time I've ever peed right on the stupid test and it was broken! :/ So, I'm not sure what the heck is going on. Do you think a frer would still work with second morning urine? I don't feel like af is here at all. What do you think? I'll post my chart.

[momamia4]

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160907/e76696390eeef83978e9329e42aa01b2.jpg

[Girlieplease]

Momamia, I think it depends. For example I have never got a positive pregnancy test before cd 14 with any of my pregnancies. With dd I got a very weak positive at cd 14, with ds2 I got stark white negative at cd 14 not using first urine and then a positive cd 15 with first urine. For me a test not using first urine at cd 14 would not work but when have you got positives before? If your like some ladies on here that get positives at cd 10 then maybe for you it would. What is the harm in trying?

Hope xxforhubby looks at your chart, looking at it I would not be hopefully, sorry for that but am not good about reading them and I think temperatures can be unreliable, I will post my chart later so you can compare, I want xxforhubby to have a look at it as well. Mine looks quite different to yours but am only cd 12. Could you maybe have ovulated later than you thought? Am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you and me! X

[momamia4]

Girlieplease, I didn't get a positive hpt with my last miscarriage until 13dpo. With my miscarriage last year, I got a faint bfp at only 6dpo!! I didn't keep track of days with my other pregnancies when I was younger but I know I was always late for my period before I would test. I definitely don't have my hopes up for being pregnant this cycle. I just don't understand why af hasn't started when my temps have been low for so many days.

[GirlieCat]

X

Yeah Girlie, so happy AF still hasn't arrived for you. What a great sign! I will be living vicariously through you and waiting for Friday to see what it shows.

AFM, I am trying not to symptom spot either for AF or for BFP because I don't know my body well enough to tell the difference. This is my 6th cycle off BC after 14 years, 3rd on Metformin and 1st on clomid (but a total of 8 months because I have longer cycles) so things change every cycle and I just don't know what to think of things my body does or if it is side effect of meds. I am staying realistically optimistic and holding on to hope until I see a BFN. Hope is all we have in the 2WW.

[GirlieCat]

So Momamia's question on first morning urine made me think...I get up every night lately to pee at around 3am, then go back to bed. Will my urine at 7am be good to use or should I use the 3am urine? I will do my best not to go at 3am on test day, but not likely even though I go right before bed too.

Moma- can't hurt to try with not first morning, but you could also wait till tomorrow because either way, no matter what not first morning says, you will still want to confirm with tomorrow's first morning.

[foxtrotmama]

momamia, did you try the FRER?

I'm a ways off from the TWW but I'm CD2 so I'm finally in my first attempt cycle! I feel so behind, lol.

[momamia4]

Yes, the frer was bfn. I anticipated that though.

[Girlieplease]

32948 My chart hope you guys can see it, any thoughts?

[MrsSparkles]

I think it means the first urine after your longest sleep, doesn't mention anything about pee breaks on my Clearblue test box lol
I would think that as long as you're not guzzling water at 3am before going back to bed, it will be fine

[momamia4]

I broke down and called my RE's office. He said to wait until I'm 6wks passed the first day of my last period which would be the 12th of Sept. If I haven't started a period by then, he wants me to come in for an ultrasound. I really hope I'm not in limbo for that long! That would really suck! :/

[XXforhubby]

Momamia- Ugh. Being in limbo sucks! Looking at your chart, you didn't have today's temp below the coverline. Either AF will start, or your temp should rise back up tomorrow. If your temp doesn't rise tomorrow, then AF should begin. That being said, my DS2 was a slow cooker. My temp never dipped below the coverline, but it didn't get what I would call triphasic high until I was 28dpo. Hang in there! I hope you get answers soon!!

Thanks xx am really not good at analysing these, I had thought I ovulated on cd 19, though I got a solid on the digital OPK on cd18 am. Ff originally said I ovulated on day 22. What do you think attempt wise, if I ovulated on the 18, my attempt on am of 19 would be too late and if I ovulated on 21, my attempt around then would have been too late as well? Darn, maybe my excitement was a tad premature! Thanks x

[Burakoam]

Hmmm Girlie.....around CD 16 when did you last have sex? 14-15-16? any of those days? I think you ovulated CD 16, if not then hubby is right with her first guess CD 18...Your biggest temp jump is on day 16 though...and i think the reason you still had some EWCM after CD 16 and 18 is because you had a weak ovulation and progesterone was a little low...i cant guarantee that but what i can tell you is as low as my progesterone was for this pregnancy i almost guarantee i had a weak ovulation too so it doesnt stop pregnancy entirely..but it could also be why so many of us thought you hadnt even ovulated when in fact you apparently may have! if you were still E4D and you attempted on 19 then you must have on CD 15 right? Sperm hangs around for a while so wether you ovulated on cd 16 or cd 18 i think sex from cd 15 is what got you pregnant IF you are..

up to you wether you are brave enough to test today! wether hubby has it right or my guess is right you would be far enough into it by now a test would be positive...and generally you have HCG in your blood and pee *IF* you are pregnant and have a short LP and dont get your period its because HCG is stopping it. So id say a test should be pretty accurate today, but you wouldnt be totally out until a test friday is negative. imo.

[baby2016baby]

Looks promising to me girlieplease! Got everything crossed xxx

[Girlieplease]

Thanks for all the replied I really appreciate the input we had sex on the pm of cd 16 and then again on am of cd 19. So timing wise maybe not great. I did not get a static on the digital OPK until cd 18, i though perhaps the temp spike after cd 16 was just an outlier, random spike that was throwing ff of. I think I will wait until Friday to test, that is 14 days after my attempt, when I think I ovulated, I have never ever got a positive before cd 14, so the long I wait the better and maybe af show up before then and I won't need to bother.

Just had a call from the infertility place, they have a few cancellations, they wanted to offer me, one for tomorrow and two for next week. I could go tomorrow but they want my husband to attend and he has clinics booked that he cannot cancel at such short notice. Why is life so complicated.she said if I could not make appointment for next week, itwoukd be October, maybe that would be better. Just know if af arrives the next few days am going to want an appointment next week but husband will not be pushed to cancel his clinics, what would you do if you were me?

[Girlieplease]

Looks promising to me girlieplease! Got everything crossed xxx

Thank you, I had hoped so but am feeling less positive now. Don't think my attempts were as well timed as I hoped. You don't have the links for the nice guidelines on secondary infertility? A friends has asked me for them and she has tried searching, I will look in work tomorrow but thought if you could point me in the right direction I could forward the information tonight, thanks, hope you and bump are keeping well x

[Dreamsister]

Sorry, af maybe on the way for some of you. I honestly have thought that some many times over the past week but it was not the case and the heat, my tummy area is sweating, I am hoping it is a sign of a bean implanting.

[Burakoam]

Girlie if your other children are your husbands I would tell the infertility place you will take the appointment for tomorrow or next week but he can't make it. He can always go in on his own time but don't see what a sperm analysis on him will do much of if he already has a well established history of impregnating you. They should understand that. A clinic here would but I can't say 100% for you there.

Besides I got the feeling you may be cancelling an appointment too with them ;)

[MrsSparkles]

Momamia - that limbo sucks.
Over in the UK if you've had repeated mc, or 1 or more ectopics you can self refer to the EPU....that's at 6 weeks too.
Which I feel is so long to wait, but I guess noting would show on the ultrasound.

Girlie - keeping my hopes high for your BFP

[Kelbear]

Fingers crossed for you girlieplease, really hope you have good news soon. Eagerly awaiting any update :fingers:

[Katt2275]

Af came for me today. :( I'm due to ovulate around the 17th though, so I should be back here in the September 2ww in a few weeks. Good luck to everyone. I'm going on keep checking in here, and I hope to see some bfps soon! :)

[purple]

Girlieplease, I would make the appointment and then say he couldn't make it at the last minute. DH didn't go to a single fertility appointment with me as it was just to difficult to organise him to get away from work. They didnt have any issues with not seeing him and the dr didn't want to make him do an SA as he had got me pregnant 4 times at that point and had good results with previous ones.

[kc15880]

& Im out :( AF came today & now I have to cancel our holiday that I was taking the kids on as hubby wasnt coming with us & it is when I should O next :(

[momamia4]

Sorry Katt and kc15880. Af came for me too today.

[kc15880]

so glad to have all of you here to chat about this, otherwise I would feel so alone. this journey is much easier with all of you!

[XXforhubby]

Bummer AF showed Katt, KC, and Momamia [emoji20]! You are right KC, this is so much easier having someone to talk to about this!

AFM- I'm waiting to O. I finished my last dose of Clomid yesterday, so I'm going to wait to use opks until tomorrow. I know it may be too early, and I'll keep testing anyway. I just don't want to miss my surge! My birthday is Saturday, so we will keep up either E3D or E4D plus another attempt at pos. Opk. It just depends on how things shake out.

FX we see some more BFPs soon!!

I hate the 2WW!!! It is exhausting wondering if the twinges are AF coming or baby making itself at home in there. I want nothing more than to just ignore them all but it is impossible not to notice something you feel. The first week was great, but midwalk through week two (10dpo) and I am losing my patience and positive attitude. I also fear going to the bathroom now, afraid to find AF has crushed my dreams once again. Still waiting till 13-14dpo to test though...
Okay, end rant. Sigh...

Okay, end rant. Sigh...
100% agree with this!!!

The last few days have been torture! 11dpo today and just trying to distract myself as much as possible.

12 dpo is usually the day I start spotting so dreading what tomorrow will probably bring x

Same here! I'm only 5 dpo but I'm always symptom spotting. Even though now having TTC for months I know more of the symptoms don't mean anything. : ( Ugh so hard.

Fingers crossed for those waiting!

Dropping by to vent: for the last two cycles I've ovulated on CD 14 (28 day cycles). Now I'm using OPKs for the first time, and it's frustrating. Right now I'm on CD 14, I had a bit of EWCM yesterday, but no positive OPK yet. I really want to do just one attempt, and I also really don't want to miss attempting this month because I hate the LE diet to the depths of my soul.

Hoping ovulation is on it's way before I lose my mind more than I already have lately...:p

[Girlieplease]

I agree with you ladies, the 2ww is sooooooo frustrating. I am dpo 13, planning to test tomorrow. I don't know why but I feel more disheartened today, maybe it's the possibility of getting a stark white negative tomorrow? I said if I got passed dpo 12, testing would not bother me and am past that. I think it is slightly unclear when I ovulated so goodness know what day I am. I have lots of symptoms but I have had these before and af has arrived. I booked the appt at the infertility place for next week, so at least if af arrives I am doing something. Temps are still high so still a chance.

What are you guys doing in the 2 ww re exercise, I have really reduced I think I have exercised twice since Friday. Diet has slipped massively, I took a prenatal today and had three meals instead of two.

Sorry to those that af arrived, it is just a disheartening experience, plenty of wine and chocolate helped me.

Keep everything crossed for me for tomorrow, 9 hours to testing and counting x

[Girlieplease]

What the actual heck, ff is now saying I ovulated cd 29? And am only 3 dpo? This is crazy am cd 32, I have only had that long a cycle on three occasions and it was because I was pregnant!

[MrsSparkles]

I hate the 2WW!!! It is exhausting wondering if the twinges are AF coming or baby making itself at home in there. I want nothing more than to just ignore them all but it is impossible not to notice something you feel. The first week was great, but midwalk through week two (10dpo) and I am losing my patience and positive attitude. I also fear going to the bathroom now, afraid to find AF has crushed my dreams once again. Still waiting till 13-14dpo to test though...

This sums it up so well !

I am so glad we all have each other for support.

Girlie at this point I'd ignore FF. You are either pregnant this cycle or you are not. Seriously doubt you ovulated 3 days ago. You are torturing yourself and confusing FF because of your very high temps which are both indicitave of pregnancy and ovulation lol... So as you keep charting (after lots of women would have already tested by now as well... You have an iron will) it's just confusing it further. Tomorrow is test day and I am banking you are going to have good news. Just
Make sure you start with the most sensitive test in your area. i just can't believe with the last few months for you and how short your lp got that you are anything BUT pregnant.

Thanks bukoram, if I thought there was even a chance of a squinter before cd14, I would have pee already but past history tells me there is no point. I meant to reply to your comment, yes dh is father of all my wee ones. I am having bad cramps tonight and feel a bit awful hoping it is a good sign not af. How awful if the witch turned up at the 11 th hour. Heading to bed soon and then will test first thing, keep everything crossed for me! X

[Georgia_Peach]

My diet has not been the best either. I'm waiting on AF myself. Out this cycle since no attempt was made. We just moved into a rental for 20 days and it's unfortunately been very stressful and I haven't been logging foods. I've stuck to skipping breakfast, no snacking, 3 meals (evening candys/chips).
Af should arrive in no more than a week and a half so I'll be having my first attempt late September or early October!
Good luck everyone soon to be testing. So exciting!

Hi Serenity, if this is first time using OPK what did you use last two cycles to say you O on cd14? What day did you start using OOKs this cycle and what time of day? Good luck.

Oh my gosh girlieplease, I agree with Burakoam that I really think this is your month. I am so excited for you. I will be eagerly awaiting your post tomorrow. We need more BFP this month.

32966 definitely a line but weak, not sure what to think. I did have this with dd at cd 14 and it was not a sensitive test, getting a first response tomorrow but I guess for the minute am pregnant! Yeah! X

[Dreamsister]

I understand your anxiety and impatiency, GirlieCat. I actually like the 2ww because I don't need to take OPKs and don't need to BD. I relax more. I continue with diet and cardio, but I don't drink my daily glass of wine, which I miss. Being busy with work and daily life is good and makes me forget about baby-making. Looking forward to your update. Cheers. And FX to all of us.

I've had a very severe migraine for last 2 days but I've dragged myself on here and I'm glad it's been worth it. Congratulations girlieplease. I knew it was your cycle!!! Happy and healthy 9 months. My line was very very weak even at 14dpo so don't fret about that as you just don't know when implantation has occured. I'm so happy for you, my UK buddy xxxx

[Girlieplease]

Thank you all so much, I have a long road ( I hope ahead) am delighted. Thanks for your lovely messages, the support from you lovely ladies is amazing!

Baby hope the migraine passes, maybe you should speak to gp? I get them in pregnancy as well and rarely at oyster times! When is your scan. Thanks for coming on to check up on me, hope you feel better soon. I don't think there are too many on her from the UK, so it is good to have someone local.

Anyone waiting to test? Waiting to attempt?

Can I eat breakfast now? Have sex when I want? Should I stop temping?

I actually cannot believe I got a bfp, I am not sure how things will turn out am just going to enjoy that am pregnant now! Thanks everyone, hope we get a few more bfp x

Congrats girlieplease!! You can do whatever you want now! Maybe have sex now before all the yucky 1st trimester symptoms set in and you will just want to sleep :)

Looks like you ovulated after all girlie ;) lol

Congratulations!!! So excited for you to join us in the due date thread :). Yes stop temping it would only give you further anxiety. You can resume eating whatever you want but I'd do it slowly just in case. Make sure you get a more sensitive test because the line may only be light because that doesn't look like a very sensitive test brand?

I still stick with what hubby and me were thinking.. You ovulated cd 16 or 18

[XXforhubby]

Huge congrats Girlieplease! Given how light your test is, I think you ovulated CD18.

It's up to you what you want to do about eating breakfast, prenatals and such. Some start right away and some wait until it can be confirmed with more tests/beta HCG's.

I'm so happy for you!!!

Mrs. Sparkles, when will you be testing? I am debating between Sunday or Monday if AF doesn't ruin my plans before then. I don't know why, but this month just feel so different and I really think it might be my month, but I could be wrong and it could just be the clomid screwing with my body and throwing me off. Trying not to get my hopes too high.

[foxtrotmama]

HUGE congrats girlieplease, that's a clear line!

GirlieCat how many DPO are you now?

[Burakoam]

girliecat- FX clomid did the trick :) Test sunday, depending on your DPO...but i want to tell you my first clomid cycle i got pregnant with angela and i got a good positive at 10 DPO with her :) (i thought i was 12 DPO to be fair...but her measurements were always solid and 2 days off what i thought i ovulated so 10 it was :) )

[GirlieCat]

I am 11 dpo from my best guess. I don't temp so I am going off my OPKs and body symptoms and cycle tracking. I think I probably O on cd19 and I am cd30 now. I usually have a 13-14 day LP. This length of cycle is about average for me right now, which is great since I was over 40 days a few months back when I started Metformin.

[XXforhubby]

I'm super excited for your BFP Girlieplease!

Girliecat- I'm rooting for you!

AFM- I'm waiting to ovulate...I'm so impatient, haha! I got an "almost" positive late morning, so I'm going to test again this evening. If it's not positive, it will be in a day or two. My birthday is tomorrow, so I'm hoping for a BFP this month or next!

I purchased the Clear blue from Tesco and results were solid. I didnt get the digital one because i had an idea how far long i was.. I first tested with a Tesco pregnancy test which was bfp but not as dark as i would like it to have been :)

[Burakoam]

Girlie i got a positive on the clearblue weeks estimator digital test when my hcg couldnt have been more than 10-15. If you are looking only for solid confirmation of "oh you are 100% pregnant lady" id get that one. If you are more wanting to see how 'dark' your line is then i recommend first response early result. Also had a positive with that one but i thought my mind was playing tricks on me (and for good reason since even the box says it shouldnt register a positive until 20-25...)

Hubby because LH surges best at night i am thinking you will get your positive tonight! yay for birthday sex! LOL

[Burakoam]

Careful though girlie...i dont know about the regular clear blue digitals. make sure its the week estimator...thats the ONLY one i can vouch for! dont want you to get a false negative and be like "wtf" lol

How many DPO are you? I first tested at 8dpo which was bfn. I then waited till one day past AF which was 13dpo and bfp. :)

[Burakoam]

Trying to Conceive Discussion Forum - Clearblue Digital Weeks Estimator sensitivity by weeks | Countdown to Pregnancy (http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/forum/post.php?postid=75532)

"Here are the sensitivity/ cut-off thresholds:

Not pregnant/pregnant 1-2 threshold = 10 mIU/mL,
Pregnant 1-2/pregnant 2-3 threshold = 156 mIU/mL,
Pregnant 2-3/pregnant 3+ threshold = 2600 mIU/mL.

So if your HCG level is below 10 mIU/mL, it will show Not Pregnant.
If your HCG level is between 10 and 155 mIU/mL, it will show Pregnant 1-2
if your HCG level is between 156 and 2600 mIU/mL, it will show Pregnant 2-3
if your HCG level is over 2600mIU/mL, it will show Pregnant 3+"

[Girlieplease]

Right which clear blue one should I avoid? Do I need to get the one that says pregnant 1-2 weeks? Certainly don't want a negative, that would take the cream right of my bun! X

[XXforhubby]

I would get a FRER, first response early result, and a Clear Blue with week's estimator for follow up.

I'm so excited there are more BFPs! Now we need more, haha!

Who is due to test? Mrs. Sparkles and Girliecat. Am I missing anyone else?

[Burakoam]

Girlie- Yes! get the one that will show you 1-2 weeks. any other clearblue digitals avoid because i think a majority of digitals in general require higher amounts of HCG to get a positive and since we are unsure how far along you are exactly id start with what i can confirm is a very sensitive digital...

Hubby has the best idea, if you can afford both get both the clearblue one im suggesting and a First response.

[squigglepink]

Right which clear blue one should I avoid? Do I need to get the one that says pregnant 1-2 weeks? Certainly don't want a negative, that would take the cream right of my bun! X

I bought the £6.50 Clear Blue one only because i was 99.9% sure i had my bfp with the Tesco pregnancy test - The line was there although not super strong. And also my AF didn't show up and im pretty regular. Good luck with testing tmw xx :)

[MrsSparkles]

GirlieCat

I was going to test on Monday, but I can feel cramps today :(
So I have a feeling AF will be here tomorrow - today I nearly cried....which I tend to do with PMS...llike literally I cry at adverts and stupid stuff that is not even sad

I am going to be rooting for you though, it really sounds like this could be the month for you.

And yay for the UK crew lol, lots of us here :D

[Kelbear]

I am only 7 dpo so still a week til AF officially due for me. I usually start spotting from 7 or 8 dpo so if that starts I am sure I will be out for this month. I am not holding much hope though as had weird spotting 2-4 dpo. If I get to 10 dpo with no spotting I might test. Fingers crossed for those waiting to test and congrats to those with bfps.

[purple]

Girlieplease, I would get a frer. I think you would get a nice clear line on one of those. Can't wait to see a nice strong bfp... come visit us in the due date thread. I assume you are due in May or are we up to June already?

[GirlieCat]

Oh Sparkles, sorry you are feeling so down. I have had some symptoms but I know the symptoms are similar to AF so I try not to speculate too much. I mean cramping can still be early pregnancy symptom right? I am not counting you out. Girlieplease thought her AF was just around the corner recently too and she got her BFP a week later. (I love those kind of happy ending).

jennypenny- sounds like you are 1 day ahead of Sparkles and I. Happy to hear you might be testing this weekend too! Hope you are the next BFP!!

[Inforthree]

FX to everyone testing! I'll be 10 dpo on Tuesday so I'll probably test then unless AF beats me to it!

Girlie,

I wasn't even sad because of anything lol.
I just get so emotional before AF, either that or paranoid/anxious - only last a day but is so intense.

UK Ladies - when I bought my spare Clearble Ovulation kits, the seller also had FR tests for £3.99 and FREE Shipping.
Hoping they are legit tests, as they didn't come in a box, but the ovulation sticks were fine and showed ovulation on the day I expected.
Am I allowed to put a link in ?
I was buying 10 OPK pack in boots but it was £23.99 a go (stupid that they don't sell without the holder)
But on ebay I got them for £14.99

[purple]

Maybe the seller buys FRERs in bulk packs then sells them individually? Did the foil packaging look normal?

Fingers crossed for everyone attempting or waiting to test x

[XXforhubby]

Huge congrats Girlieplease! It's official- you have a BFP! Yay!!

AFM- I'm going to test later this early afternoon. Hopefully I get a positive opk soon! We BDed last night and will continue to. I've heard so many people getting false surges on Clomid.

Sorry this isn't your month, Jenny. :(

Girlie, isn't a positive digital a great thing to see? :)

FX for everyone waiting to test!
AF is gone so I am just waiting to O.

[Dreamsister]

I was told with dd, that it was a sign of the mucus plug forming, but I also get it in the run up to af, so that has confused and tricked me on a few occasions, how many days post o are you? X

4-5 DPO.

Ooo, can I join? I am 4dpo. Not feeling massively confident this month, but then I never am! Been ttc since Feb but had some massively bad timing months. This month, thanks to finally finding an opk that works for me, I think we timed our attempt a day before ov so maybe we will have more luck.

Welcome, I tale it your swaying pink? If it was one attempt! Good luck and fingers crossed for you. Do you have any children already? I have dd, ds1 and ds2, swaying fir another dd, got a bfp on Friday, x

[Burakoam]

Dream- my understanding is EWCM in the 2WW could be a sign your progesterone is low either from a weak ovulation or no ovulation... Any chance you ovulated later than you did? Did you take an ovulation test when you got the EWCM just to make sure it wasn't a late ovulation?

[Burakoam]

Girlie- so happy the digital worked for you and glad you have the beautiful words to look at :)

[honeybee37]

Aaw that's great girlie please! Yay! Yes I am swaying pink and I have been doing so for almost a year :-( I have two sons who are my world. I work love to have a daughter though. So cool you have a bfp! Congrats xx

Congratulations on your two boys, swaying for a whole year, your amazing, you deserve your bfp. What does a sway look after a year? X

[GirlieCat]

Welcome Honeybee!! Happy to have you with us.

[GirlieCat]

Interesting info for thought...doing research I came across an analysis that fertility friend website did of 93,000 recent charts from ladies who use their website/app. It found that for ladies that turned out to be pregnant, the average first positive pregnancy test wasn't until 13.6 DPO. 17% of pregnant woman got a false negative before their true positive because they started testing too early. The average time between the expected period and the first positive test was only a half a day before AF should have arrived.

I think this convinced me that I am going to just wait for AF to come or to be late. I tested a few days earlier than AF last month and the negatives are too hard to handle especially when you tell yourself that maybe it is just too early and it still might be positive. I will let AF be my test this month.

[honeybee37]

Girlie please well I would say I am definitely a lot slacker on the diet after this much time, lol!!!

[momamia4]

GirlieCat, sometimes I find that easier. It seems like every so often, I just have to poas. So, I typically do it really early... like 6dpo, so I know it is most likely to be bfn and then it gives me the strength to wait longer.

[Serenity]

I think I just got a positive OPK. :omg:

I'm actually not sure at all that it's a positive OPK, because it's my first time using OPKs. It's a test from Dollarama in Canada, and the test line is almost as dark as the control line. Is this good enough?

I'm going to test again in a couple of hours to see if the line got darker, and if it did, maybe we'll go ahead and have our attempt tonight.

Honestly, at this point, I barely care what kind of baby we have! I just want to get pregnant so I can start eating good, nourishing food again.

Wishing everyone lots of luck. :bigsmile:

[GirlieCat]

Serenity, do you have a pic you can post? The two lines are typically suppose to be the same darkness but it may get darker on your next test because almost as dark means you are close for sure.

[Serenity]

What do you think??

[Burakoam]

Never mind, i read the test wrong. LOL.

You should test again later tonight and in the morning in my opinion serenity..you are close.

[Burakoam]

by the way...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY XXHubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[momamia4]

Serenity, I think it's not quite positive yet. You might get a positive in a few hours but it also might not happen until tomorrow.

Happy birthday xxforhubby!! :)

[purple]

It needs to be as dark or darker than the control serenity.. looks like it's getting close, maybe tomorrow?

Happy birthday XXforhubby!

[Serenity]

OK, I'm taking your collective word for it that it will get darker than that. We're not attempting yet. Tomorrow is another day!

Thanks for your help. :happy:

[XXforhubby]

Serenity- I would keep testing. As the others have said, you are close to getting a positive! Mine are doing the same as yours. Looks like we may be cycle buddies!

Thank you ladies! I have had a lovely birthday today! My boys made me beautiful wind spinners and a garden stone! Plus, I was able to order the Shark vacuum cleaner that I have been wanting for our new house.

AF was due yesterday or today, and I got my hopes up when I woke up this morning and still no AF.
But I can feel her lurking, and making me crampy.
I am still going to wait it out until tomorrow to test....but my psychic powers (jk) tell me I will have AF by then.

[Kelbear]

Hopefully AF stays away for you MrsSparkles and you get your bfp in the next few days :fingers:

Can I ask what you guys are doing exercise wise in the 2 ww? I really slacker of the exercise but went for a run today, short one 4 miles and I felt crampy, so it put me off trying again, my hips felt sore, not sure if it is psychological in that I know am pregnant now? Maybe should stick to walking? X

Girlie, I personally would not do a lot of intense exercise during pregnancy, especially after swaying. I plan to relax, take it easy, and eat food. :happy:

Oh no. So sorry Mrs Sparkles. That really sucks. We are dropping like flies this month. I am technically still in the running but not feeling hopeful anymore.

You can keep doing what you were previously doing if you feel up to it. I found I didn't have the energy to keep up my cycling to work this time. I managed with my previous 2 (m/c) pregnancies although work moved slightly so it is a little further now. I'm just trying to stay active walking now but there was no reason I couldn't have kept up my previous activities (other than tiredness).

[GirlieCat]

When is AF due GirlieCat? Are you going to test early? Fingers crossed it is your month for a bfp.


I am 13dpo today (Sunday). My lp is usually 13-14 days but was 15 once. So I expect AF Monday, Tuesday or even Wednesday. I have no desire to test at this point- a negative would be too hard. I am not going to handle AF or a BFN as well this month. I expected TTC to take some time because my body is stupid (PCOS) but not this long and I am tired now.

I have been snapping at husband like crazy today which is usually AF announcing her arrival so I am not very hopeful.

[Kelbear]

GirlieCat I will keep my fingers crossed that AF stays away for you and that you can update us with good news in the next few days.

[Serenity]

Good luck Girliecat! :luck:

We had our attempt tonight, so I guess the waiting begins now. I feel surprisingly calm about everything.

I think my sway was pretty strong, so if I do get pregnant this month and it's a boy, I will be ready to accept him as a warrior who has earned his place in our tribe. :D Part of me thinks that I'm far too tough to ever make a girl, but I guess we will see!

[MrsSparkles]

Need advice.
I'm day 13 or 14 dpo (used clear blue)
And yesterday I found blood when I wiped, so assumed AF was here.
Put In a pad before bed,because I am so heavy the first few days/nights.
Woke up to one brown spot -smaller than a pea size, and a tiny bit on wiping.
But the Amazon cheapie test is a BFN - it's a super sensitive test though.
I am away from home and don't have access to FR test until tomorrow.
Could this be implantation, or am i getting hopes up

[MrsSparkles]

Serenity

Your posts about the warrior made me lol

[Serenity]

Mrs. Sparkles, it could be implantation! Anything that's different than your usual AF is a good sign, in my opinion.

I guess you will know very soon! :cheer:

[momamia4]

Like Serenity said, it could be implantation MrsSparkles. FX!! :)

[Katt2275]

Hope it's implantation bleeding Mrs.Sparkles! Fingers crossed for you too GirlieCat!

[Inforthree]

Hope it's implantation mrssparkles! I'm 9dpo and had some pink/brown cm today. I'm going to test on Wed. I've been having very short LPs so I won't be surprised if this turns into AF tomorrow. But I will be disappointed.

I am feeling very hopeful for you Sparkles! Can't wait to see what tomorrow's test shows. FX!!

[foxtrotmama]

FX for everybody! GirlieCat, I've always been really short with my DH right around 13-15 DPO when I've been pregnant so it might not be AF!

[Kelbear]

That sounds promising MrsSparkles, really hope you get a bfp. Still keeping fingers crossed for you GirlieCat and also inforthree, would be fantastic if you all get a bfp this month. I am at 10 dpo today but have been having cramping since yesterday so AF likely in the next few days. My LP can be anywhere from 11-15 days recently so just have to wait. I am not going to test early either GirlieCat as I don't want to see a bfn.

[foxtrotmama]

I'm impressed by everyone who can wait! I guess it might be because I've never had trouble getting pregnant (just staying pregnant), but I've never been too upset by BFNs, but the waiting is hard on me! Pretty boy mom-ish of me though, thinking about it. ;)

[Kelbear]

In previous months trying before we took a month off so I could do LE diet I had tested at around 9 or 10 dpo and just got depressed at seeing the bfps so I am trying to just be patient this month. I will probably test Friday if AF hasn't shown by then or if I haven't had any spotting as I usually spot from 7-10 dpo through to AF so no spotting yet is a good thing for me. I just wish the 2ww would go quicker. As much as I know I can't change anything and that symptom stopping is pointless I can help but try to analyse every pain and niggle. Wish I knew a way to turn my brain off for a while!

[GirlieCat]

Oh my gosh Kelbear that is exactly how I feel!! I tested early in past cycles too so I thought I would go about it different this time. I am noticing every little thing too but trying not to read into them. Clomid mimics a lot of early preg symptoms when you are not prego so I trying to blame it on the clomid. I can't wait for the week to be over so I just know either way.
Fx to everyone. Sounds like we have a lot of people due for AF (or their BFP) this week.

[Kelbear]

Lovely ladies I need some advice/feedback. i am trying not to symptom spot or get my hopes up as I am sure af will show her ugly head in a few days (am 10dpo) but for the last few days I have been getting a stitch type pain in my side on and off throughout the day and what feels like round ligament pain (I had this in my first pregnancy but later on). I know it is too early for round ligament pain so I was wondering what could cause this? Is it related to dropping progesterone levels or something else hormone related? I just want to find a reason for these pains so that if they continue each cycle I know whether or not they are something to worry about. If anyone else has experienced this in the 2ww I would love to know.

[Dreamsister]

Dream- my understanding is EWCM in the 2WW could be a sign your progesterone is low either from a weak ovulation or no ovulation... Any chance you ovulated later than you did? Did you take an ovulation test when you got the EWCM just to make sure it wasn't a late ovulation?

No I did not take any OPKs in the 2WW. My EWCM has not been fertile egg-white, more like the sticky, dry stuff you get after O. But I am confused, bc I got a lot EWCM this cycle. I hope I did not miss my surge.

Just purchased more Wondfo test strips, Olive leaf extract for hubby and Folate for me for the months to come.

I don't have much faith that I am able to conceive. But it gives me hope to know I can continue swaying and will have more chances. Sometimes I just want to give up, but then I think fuck no I will continue until my body says stop.

Well I am still in the race!! Today is 15dpo and as of 1:30 this afternoon all is clear downstairs. Normally I would have started AF this morning, but one cycle this year I was a day later and didn't start till morning 16dpo. If no spotting or AF by tomorrow morning (Wednesday) then I would say I am officially late and I am going to test (I know- finally right?). I get excited every time I go to the bathroom and hope is still alive. I keep trying to talk myself down from getting too hopeful and say that maybe I misjudged ovulation day so my count is off or that clomid is messing with my cycle.

It is going to be a long 17 hours till test time, but at 16dpo at least I will be able to trust whatever the test says tomorrow. AF STAY AWAY FROM ME!!! :nails:

I'm having one of the worst weeks of my entire adult life. I recently found out that my DH hasn't been running his business well financially, and now it appears that we owe a ton of money. Not a great time for a pregnancy. I guess this kind of stress should sway pink, but I'm kind of scared to be pregnant right now. :sad:

[GirlieCat]

Wow Serenity. That is terrible. I can't even image how stressful things must be in your house right now. Good thing you already had your attempt because I probably would not want to touch my husband for a long time after discovering something like that. It is hard to just turn off your dream or plan of another baby in a moments notice so since you have already had your attempt this month just wait it out and see what the next 2 weeks bring for both your finances and if you might already be pregnant. I really am sorry you are having to go through this.

Any news yet GirlieCat? So hoping you have good news. Think I am on opposite time zones so was hoping to hear before I go to sleep for the night. Really hope this is your month.

[Girlieplease]

Am stalking for updates as well! X

[GirlieCat]

BFN on two different tests, one of the cheap ones and one FR. I feel devastated. I really really thought it would be positive. I don't know what our next step will be...more tests? Another round of clomid? RE? Ugh. I am so upset.

[MrsSparkles]

Oh Girlie :(
I';m so sorry, could it be that you implanted late and are just testing negative?
If AF has not arrived there might still be hope right ?

[foxtrotmama]

GirlieCat, you're not out until AF. You could have ovulated a little later, or had slow implantation.

KelBear, I've had round ligament pain twice at 4-5 weeks. My doctor said it's common early on in subsequent pregnancies, although during the TWW would probably be too soon

[GirlieCat]

At this point I actually hope AF comes because if she doesn't I will just get more confused. I have no hope that it will change to a positive.

I have had non stop cramping, all day, everyday for 7 days. Sometimes on the left, sometimes on right, sometimes all over. I think it is either cysts or just side effect of clomid, but of course until my BFN I was hoping it was implantation or pregnancy related. It has actually only started to get less intense yesterday and today. Going to ask for an ultrasound to see if it is cysts.

[momamia4]

FX it's just too early, GirlieCat! I hope you just implanted late. :hugs:

[Girlieplease]

So sorry for the Bfn girliecat, it must be some frustrating but as the other ladies said your not out until af arrives. Does clomid mess with your cycles and could that be the explanation? I only got a weak test at cd 14, so if you implanted late, you may be earlier in your cycle than you think. It's your first, you see I knew from previous pregnancies when to test, keeping everything crossed for you x

[XXforhubby]

Huge hugs Girliecat! I'm hoping it's too soon to test for you!

I'm sorry AF has found so many [emoji20]!

AFM- I'm waiting to ovulate. We will either attempt tonight it tomorrow night, since we're doing E3D or E4D. It seems this whole TTCing business is about waiting [emoji13]! I'm SO getting over it already!!

I'm out too, couldn't wait to test any longer, bfn on frer at 12 dpo. Wish I knew what was causing my cramping and pulling pains for about a week each month prior to AF. Thought maybe the no spotting and pulling pains might have been a sign this was my month but apparently not :sad:

KelbeR- can be a sign of ovarian cysts. If you are concerned speak with your doctor.

Thanks burakoam, I think I will see my gp about it as something just doesn't feel right. I never used to get much pain even with AF prior to having my son, now I have cramping/ pulling/ pain pretty much right from ovulation to AF.

Kelbear, so sorry you got a BFN too. I spent the day depressed and on the brink of tears multiple times. Your symptoms sounds
exactly like how I felt this cycle. I normally get a few cramps here and there from O-AF, but this cycle was just crazy with cramping. Literally non stop for a week. Some mild, some more intense but very uncomfortable either way. I called my doc today since I now know pains are not pregnancy related. I made an appointment for an ultrasound and maybe other tests. Eager to see what it shows. I just need to know if my tubes are okay (not blocked) and how my ovaries look in terms of cysts.

[Kelbear]

Hopefully an ultrasound can either help you get some answers GirlieCat or at least put your mind at ease if the ultrasound comes back clear. The last few days I was almost sure I was pregnant - stitch in my side, gassy stomach, face flushed, vivid dream (I never dream - hubby had to wake me as I was yelling in my sleep! Hate it how I get so fooled into thinking I am pregnant when I know better not to symptom spot. Just so disappointing when your hopes are dashed. Really feel for you as I know you have been trying a while. Sending comiserations. Time to drink wine and eat chocolate for a night.
Now hurry up AF so I can get on with next month.

Can that interfere with getting a BFP ?

[Kelbear]

I am not sure MrsSparkles, I wish I knew what was going on. I never had a problem getting pregnant with my DS, only took 2 months ttc, period was very regular after coming off bcps, never had much pain at all even with af. Since af has returned after having DS the pain from o til af has been very noticeable. I think I need to get it checked out. At least I have not had early spotting this month (previously spotting from 7-10 dpi til af) so maybe my LP is sorting itself out now DS is breastfeeding less and has dropped his overnight feed. I know I should just be patient and a bfn this month means more time on the Le diet so will be 10 weeks on it by next attempt but was so hoping to have a close age gap between DS and his sibling. I am ok getting a bfn when I don't feel pregnant but hate it when my body tricks me into thinking I am then says 'ha ha tricked you'. I think I really need to get a referral to an obgyn to look into things.

I just did some googling and apparently ovarian cysts can cause false positives on pregnancy tests but didn't find anything on false negatives. I am resigned to the fact that af will be here in the next few days, just want to know why I have so much cramping after ovulation all the way to af.

Sorry Girlie and Kelbear! I got a BFN at 12 dpo today too. And I've been having a little spotting since Tuesday. So I should get AF today or tomorrow. I can never fully give up hope until AF is here in full. But I'm out. : (

Sorry Girlie and Kelbear! AF also arrived for me today. Went to the fertility doc to have blood test done to get my hormonal profile. My fertility doc want to give me Gonal-f-injections (100 iu 5 days) and trigger-injection. I tried Clomid one time which resulted in a very weak lining and a missed abortion in July. My doc say Clomid is not good for me because it makes my lining thin. I am confused what to do. Should I continue ttc natural or go to more drastic method? I am so afraid of a multiple pregnancy. On the other hand I am running short of time. I am 41.
